Council to hear Brock Street proposal Tuesday

ROCHESTER — On Tuesday the City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposal to bond $700,000 for the Brock Street reconstruction project.

The City Council will also look to appropriate $55,000 toward building bathroom facilities at Rochester Common. The money would be taken from the general fund.

The council on Tuesday will also consider accepting a resignation of Susan Schwake from the Arts and Cultural Commission. In her letter of resignation, Schwake wrote she is leaving the commission for family-related reasons.

She wrote, “I also believe that it is time for other stake holders in Rochester to step up to the plat as well. If there is true interest in the Arts it will most certainly happen.”

The City Council will also accept the resignation of Peter Ward from the selectman’s position in Ward 6.

Councilors on Tuesday will also consider approving a building permit for Two Rod Road, a Class IV road, located off Route 11 in the area of Walmart. The road would provide access to Tractor Supply retail facility, which is planned for construction.

Also Tuesday, the City Council will also review a proposal to appoint advisory board for the Granite State Business Park Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District. As required by law, TIF districts must have an established advisory board made up mostly of tenants or property owners within the district. The Granite State Business Park, located at Airport Drive, is home to the new manufacturing plant being built for Albany Engineered Composites and Safran USA.

The employee of the month will also be awarded on Tuesday.

The meeting will wrap up with the City Council’s nonmeeting, a consultation with legal counsel, as well as a nonpublic session pertaining to personnel matters.

Tuesday’s meeting will take place at 7 p.m., in the council chambers at the City Hall.
